Milton Lee
My name is Milton Lee and I am Navajo. I was born in Gallup, NM in 1965.
I have lived in Albuquerque, NM since 1977. Silversmiths has been a part
of my family heritage for three generations. My mother’s uncle started making jewelry in 1947. When he past away, my mother was given his tools of the trade.
In 1970 she started to make jewelry using the tools and knowledge she had learned from him. As a small child I would sit and watch my mother make jewelry and help her with the simple tasks of jewelry making. In 1981 at the age of 16, I started making jewelry. I enjoy making and designing jewelry from raw materials using my heritage to guide me. My trademark is M Lee.
